Magnesium bisglycinate vs glycinate
Magnesium glycinate and magnesium bisglycinate refer to the same compound, with the terms often used interchangeably. Magnesium bisglycinate is the more accurate chemical name, indicating that each magnesium ion is bonded to two glycine molecules. The "bis" part means "two." Magnesium glycinate is the more common name.

Chelation is a chemical process where minerals, such as magnesium, bind to either an amino acid (such as glycine) or an acid forming a complex. The chelated complex is more stable and less likely to break down in the digestive system. This stability ensures that the mineral remains intact until it reaches the intestines, where it can be absorbed more effectively and is more bio-effective.

Magnesium bisglycinate is a chelated form of magnesium and so is optimally absorbed and utilised in the body. It is very safe and gentle on the digestive system, making it ideal for those who normally cannot tolerate other forms of magnesium well.
